In the doldrums of the offseason, we’re all starved for any bits of football news—particularly with two wholly uninteresting teams occupying the Super Bowl this weekend. As free agency approaches, we expect to hear rumors and rumblings about players the Falcons may be trying to re-sign or pursue on the open market.
We received one of those rumblings today from ESPN’s Vaughn McClure, who spoke with general manager Thomas Dimitroff about some of the players the Falcons would like to bring back this offseason. The team is apparently interesting in working out a long-term extension with restricted free agent FS Ricardo Allen.
